Varför vi älskar att hata Ryssland : russofobi från Karl den Store till Barack Obama

Varför vi älskar att hata Ryssland : russofobi från Karl den Store till Barack Obama

Russofobi har en lång historia. I århundraden har västvärlden av religiösa och politiska skäl betraktat det stora landet i öster som ett farligt hot och en rival att bekämpa. När kalla kriget tog slut trodde emellertid många att en avspänningsperiod stod för dörren. Så blev inte fallet. Istället återkom Ryssland efter en kort paus som västs fiende nummer ett. Idag är russofobin starkare än kanske någonsin. Att svartmåla och hata Ryssland och dess president Vladimir Putin har blivit en tankemodell som präglar litteraturen, medierna, den akademiska världen och regeringarna i väst. Med trots russofobins centrala roll är den sällan diskuterad. Den schweiziske journalisten Guy Mettans bok, Varför vi älskar att hata Ryssland, är därför något av ett pionjärverk. Författaren berättar här den fascinerande historien om hur västs fientlighet mot Ryssland uppstod och hur den har tagit sig uttryck i olika historiska epoker och i olika länder. Han visar hur mekanismerna bakom den nutida russofobin ser ut och gör fallstudier över viktiga händelser som gisslanstagandet i Beslan 2004, Georgienkriget 2008 och Ukrainakrisen 2014. Boken är en passionerad plädering för att den riskfyllda och kostsamma väst-östliga konflikten måste överbryggas och att Ryssland på jämlika villkor bör återinkluderas i ett Europa som sträcker sig från Atlanten till Stilla havet. OM BOKEN: "Ett exceptionellt viktigt bidrag till avmysti­fieringen av inter­nationella relationer." Arrêt sur info "Guy Mettans anklagelser mot västliga mediers dubbla måttstockar är invändningsfria." Le Temps "När jag hade läst klart boken insåg jag att ingen­ting annat än en stående ovation skulle kunna göra detta i sanning ­utomordentliga verk rättvisa. Guy Mettan har skrivit ett ­mästerverk som bör finnas på 'måstelistan' för varje person som är intresserad av Ryssland." The Saker OM FÖRFATTAREN: Guy Mettan är journalist, författare och politiker, verksam i Genève, Schweiz. Under åren 1992-1998 var han verkställande direktör och chefredaktör för stadens största dagstidning, Tribune de Genève. Sedan 1998 är han ordförande för Geneva Press Club vars grundare han också är. Guy Mettan har publicerat många böcker om Schweiz och det internationella Genève. Sedan 2001 är Guy Mettan ledamot för PDC, Schweiz kristdemokratiska parti, i Genèves rådsförsamling där han var talman åren 2009-2010. Han har också varit ordförande för Röda korset i Genève och vice ordförande för den schweizisk-ryska handelskammaren. Guy Mettan har både schweiziskt och ryskt medborgarskap. Varför vi älskar att hata Ryssland har utkommit eller är under utgivning i Italien, Kina, Ryssland, Serbien och USA. UTDRAG UR BOKEN: Hur kan det komma sig att Ryssland, som vid tre tillfällen har räddat västvärlden och som inte - i vart fall inte nu - utgör något hot, än idag väcker så mycket hat och fientlighet? Det var i förhoppningen om att i någon mån kunna riva den mur av antirysk hysteri, som gripit västliga medier efter Ukrainakrisen, som jag började skriva den här essän, och fördjupade mig i den långa historien om hur västerlänningar i sekler har skapat sig förvrängda bilder om Ryssland. För tydlighetens skull vill jag understryka att boken inte på minsta vis är riktad mot väst. Att belysa källorna till hatet mot Ryssland innebär inte alls att förneka värden som demokrati, frihet och mänskliga rättigheter eller att dåna av beundran för Putin. Att kritisera västs tvivelaktiga beteenden innebär inte att frikänna Ryssland från dess brister. En sådan hållning har ingenting gemensamt med en antieuropeisk eller antiamerikansk propaganda, som bara byter förtecken på russofobin och framställer ett uteslutande gott Ryssland förföljt av ett ondskefullt väst. Istället vill jag ge en sann bild av västs förhållande till Ryssland i hela dess komplexitet och göra rättvisa åt de tiotals miljoner ryssar, som sedan 25 år tillbaka bygger en valdemokrati som inte importerats, återuppbygger en ekonomi som ödelagts av privatiseringar och skapar sig en framtid som inte påtvingats dem utifrån.

In Search of America's Soul: Conversations with Americans about the Presidency of Barack Obama and the Declining power of the American Empire

In Search of America's Soul: Conversations with Americans about the Presidency of Barack Obama and the Declining power of the American Empire

Owen Baptiste

nidottu
THERE IS a cartoon on Page 82 of Aftershock, the Wall Street Journal Business bestseller, that shows a couple meeting their investment advisor and saying, "We were wondering if now would be a good time to panic". As we searched for America's Soul it was impossible not to see this worry among Americans even as they tried to hold on to the heroism of the past. But their brashness failed to inspire hope in the triumphant cult of the American Dream that some economists were insisting was over. Most people, said the writers of Aftershock, cannot imagine what the future will be. The book and a lot in the news media are mournful reminders that "things are not going back to how they were before" and they echo the lament of two other prominent American writers that America had fallen behind in the world it invented. Would it come back? The cartoon summed up the dismal state of the American society as it struggles to recover from more than a decade of wars, from a Congress that a majority of Americans do not trust, and from a worsening racial environment dramatized by the killing of the black teenager Trayvon Martin.

Degrade and Destroy: The Inside Story of the War Against the Islamic State, from Barack Obama to Donald Trump

Degrade and Destroy: The Inside Story of the War Against the Islamic State, from Barack Obama to Donald Trump

Michael R. Gordon

"This is the ultimate insider's view of perhaps the darkest chapter of the Forever Wars. Michael Gordon knows everyone, was seemingly everywhere, and brings a lifetime of brilliant reporting to telling this crucial story." --Retired U.S. Navy admiral James Stavridis, 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and author of To Risk it All: Nine Crises and the Crucible of DecisionAn essential account of the struggle against ISIS--and of how Presidents Obama, Trump, and Biden have waged war.In the summer of 2014, President Barack Obama faced an unwelcome surprise: insurgents from the Islamic State had seized the Iraqi city of Mosul and proclaimed a new caliphate, which they were ruling with an iron fist and using to launch terrorist attacks abroad. After considerable deliberation, President Obama sent American troops back to Iraq. The new mission was to "degrade and ultimately destroy" ISIS, primarily by advising Iraqi and Syrian partners who would do the bulk of the fighting and by supporting them with airpower and artillery. More than four years later, the caliphate had been dismantled, the cities of Mosul and Raqqa lay in ruins, and several thousand U.S. troops remained to prevent ISIS from making a comeback. The "by, with, and through" strategy was hailed as a template for future campaigns. But how was the war actually fought? What were the key decisions, successes, and failures? And what was learned? In Degrade and Destroy, the bestselling author and Wall Street Journal national security correspondent Michael R. Gordon reveals the strategy debates, diplomatic gambits, and military operations that shaped the struggle against the Islamic State. With extraordinary access to top U.S. officials and military commanders and to the forces on the battlefield, Gordon offers a riveting narrative that ferrets out some of the war's most guarded secrets. Degrade and Destroy takes us inside National Security Council meetings at which Obama and his top aides grapple with early setbacks and discuss whether the war can be won. It also offers the most detailed account to date of how President Donald Trump waged war--delegating greater authority to the Pentagon but jeopardizing the outcome with a rush for the exit. Drawing on his reporting in Iraq and Syria, Gordon documents the closed-door deliberations of U.S. generals with their Iraqi and Syrian counterparts and describes some of the toughest urban battles since World War II. As Americans debate the future of using force abroad, Gordon's book offers vital insights into how our wars today are fought against militant foes, and the enduring lessons we can draw from them.

Religion, Race, and Barack Obama's New Democratic Pluralism

Religion, Race, and Barack Obama's New Democratic Pluralism

Routledge
2012
sidottu
Contrary to popular claims, religion played a critical role in Barack Obama’s 2008 election as president of the United States. Religion, race, and gender entered the national and electoral dialogue in an unprecedented manner. What stood out most in the 2008 presidential campaign was not that Republicans reached out to religious voters but that Democrats did—and with a vengeance. This tightly edited volume demonstrates how Obama charted a new course for Democrats by staking out claims among moderate-conservative faith communities and emerged victorious in the presidential contest, in part, by promoting a new Democratic racial-ethnic and religious pluralism. Comprising careful analysis by leading experts on religion and politics in the United States, Gastón Espinosa’s book details how ten of the largest segments of the American electorate voted and why, drawing on the latest and best available data, interviews, and sources. The voting patterns of Mainline Protestants, Evangelicals, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and seculars are dissected in detail, along with the intersection of religion and women, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans. The story of Obama’s historic election is an insightful prism through which to explore the growing influence of religion in American politics.

Hand-Off: The Foreign Policy George W. Bush Passed to Barack Obama

Hand-Off: The Foreign Policy George W. Bush Passed to Barack Obama

President George W. Bush

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2023
sidottu
Hand-Off details the Bush administration's national security and foreign policy as described at the time in then-classified Transition Memoranda prepared by the National Security Council experts who advised President Bush. Thirty of these Transition Memoranda, newly declassified and here made public for the first time, provide a detailed, comprehensive, and first-hand look at the foreign policy the Bush administration turned over to President Obama. These same experts now in hindsight take a remarkably self- critical look at that Bush foreign policy legacy after more than a dozen years of watching subsequent administrations attempt to deal with the same vexing agenda of threats and opportunities-- China, Russia, Iran, the Middle East, terrorism, proliferation, cyber, pandemics, and climate change--an agenda that still dominates America's national security and foreign policy. Hand-Off will be an invaluable resource for scholars, students, policy analysts, and general readers seeking to understand afresh the Bush administration's foreign policy, particularly in view of the records of the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations.

Mr. President, I Respectfully Disagree: Barack Obama, Christianity, and the Antichrist

Mr. President, I Respectfully Disagree: Barack Obama, Christianity, and the Antichrist

Joseph Pope

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
nidottu
Barack Obama claims he is a Christian. And while no one but God can judge if this is true, his position of authority requires that we the people determine if his actions support this claim. Is Obama leading this country in the spirit of the founding fathers? Or is he turning America into a corrupted state bent on crushing believers? Will he be just another page in America's history? Or is he leading us into a new world order? In Mr. President, I Respectfully Disagree: Barack Obama, Christianity, and the Antichrist, author Joseph Pope answers these controversial questions by looking at Obama's choices as president, including creating Obamacare, harassing Christians in the military, not supporting Jews in the Gaza Strip, targeting Christian organizations, and implementing the Iran nuclear deal. Pope methodically explores these decisions-and dozens more like them-in a biblical context, drawing on scripture and the documented analyses of political experts to reach his fascinating and frightening conclusions. It may not be Christians' place to judge the condition of Obama's soul-but we are called to beware of wolves in sheep's clothing. Join Pope as he examines Obama's political legacy in light of the Bible's prophetic wisdom.

Failing to Confront Islamic Totalitarianism: From George W. Bush to Barack Obama and Beyond

Failing to Confront Islamic Totalitarianism: From George W. Bush to Barack Obama and Beyond

Onkar Ghate; Elan Journo

Blackstone Audiobooks
2018
cd
The military strength of the United States is unmatched in all of world history. Yet fifteen years after September 11, Islamic totalitarianism is undefeated, emboldened, and on the march: from Paris and San Bernardino to Brussels and Orlando. Why?The fundamental problem lies in the irrational philosophic ideas that permeate--and subvert--American foreign policy. The United States is a military superpower, but it lacks the self-confidence and moral certainty needed to defend itself and its ideals. And our political and intellectual leaders evade the nature of Islamic totalitarianism.After 9/11, the Ayn Rand Institute predicted that the prevailing ideas about morality would undercut our foreign policy and cripple us in action. In the op-eds, essays, blog posts, and interviews featured in this book, you will see that those predictions have proved correct.Can we end the Islamist menace and secure our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness on earth? Yes--easily--if we adopt the right philosophic ideas to guide our foreign policy.
